Colon Cancer: Keep eating the burger and fries and it'll come back

30 August 2007

 

Colon cancer is often caused by a Western diet that's high in red meats,

processed and refined foods -- and, not surprisingly, scientists have

discovered that it's likely to recur, and even prove fatal, in people

who have been 'cured' if they don't change their bad eating habits.

 

Scientists tracked the progress of 1009 patients with stage 3 colon

cancer after surgery and chemotherapy.  They found that those who went

back to their old eating habits were three times more likely to suffer a

recurrence, and even die from the cancer, compared with those who

changed their diet.

 

Those who changed their ways started introducing more fruit, vegetables,

fish, whole grains and poultry into their diet, and dramatically

increased their chances of surviving the cancer as a result.
